Illfonic’s new asymmetrical Killer Klowns from Outer Space game is set for a 4th June release<\/a>, with the game already available through Advanced Access on Steam for those who choose to pre-order. As many players have already started diving in to the ’80s-styled game, the question on many fans’ minds after its release is: is the game actually worth it, <\/strong>and is it as good as major competitors like Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Killer Klowns from Outer Space isn’t Illfonic’s first asymmetrical title, nor is it their first film-to-game adaptation; they’re the developers behind the Friday the 13th game, whose servers closed its doors for good last December. Let’s delve into what reviewers are saying about the new game, including whether the Killer Klowns from Outer Space video game lives up to the fame of the iconic film and whether it’s an improvement upon Illfonic’s last multiplayer horror game, Friday the 13th.<\/p>\n

Killer Klowns From Outer Space Review Roundup

The reviews are in on Killer Klowns from Outer Space. (Picture: Illfonic)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To give you an idea of what to expect, here are some of the early reviews that have already dropped for Killer Klowns from Outer Space:<\/p>\n

TechRapto<\/a>r<\/a> – 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

“On the surface, it looks like Killer Klowns is paying more than just lip service to its peers. . . However, Illfonic and Teravision seem to be paying attention to how the game flows in its peaks, eliminating concepts like ‘hook camping” or “tunneling” since the player pool, and scope, is much bigger. Surprisingly, it manages to become its own thing. A vaguely PvPvE experience with just enough tactical opportunities, class variety, different forms of combat, and punchy references to show they’re not being cynical.”
<\/em><\/p>\n

TheGamer<\/a> – 4\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Killer Klowns from Outer Space is one of the best asymmetrical horror games so far, standing side-by-side with the likes of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It’ll be interesting to see if it fares better under the enormous shadow of Dead by Daylight than Sumo Digital’s efforts, but it’s stepping out of the gate with some interesting concepts that reinvent the way the genre plays, making survivors more formidable and killers more tactical, encouraging teamwork and adding so much more depth to each match.” <\/em><\/p>\n

Game Informer<\/strong><\/a>– 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

“In its current state, Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game is a good asymmetrical multiplayer game. The gameplay mechanics that help balance the competitive roles reinforce the lessons IllFonic has learned over the years, while its comical nods to the film and impressive graphics showcase the respect given to the source material. If IllFonic can iron out the bugs in the coming patch and provide solid post-launch content, Killer Klowns From Outer Space could become the best this genre has to offer.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Push Square<\/a> – 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Most disappointing is the lack of clown comedy. Their shoes squeak when they walk and there are some jokey lines of dialogue, but no hilarious kills. As a human, sometimes a funny cutscene will play when you die, but that doesn’t translate to combat.” <\/em><\/p>\n

ZTGD<\/a> – 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Even with my somewhat minor complaints, I walked away from Killer Klowns from Outer Space wholly impressed with the gameplay, the faithfulness to the movie and the graphics. For a budget title this is a great looking game, textures on the klowns faces are lifelike and creepy, cotton candy that is literally on everything as the match progress has a light and wispy look as one would expect. With everything that this game is doing, for me; Killer Klowns from Outer Space feels like the best version of these asymmetrical multiplayer games.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
